Treatment for human African trypanosomiasis is dependent on the species of trypanosome causing the disease and the stage of the disease (stage 1 defined by parasites being present in blood and lymphatics whilst for stage 2, parasites are found beyond the blood-brain barrier in the cerebrospinal flui...

Tsetse transmit African trypanosomiasis, which is a disease fatal to both humans and animals. A vaccine to protect against this disease does not exist so transmission control relies on eliminating tsetse populations. Although neurotoxic insecticides are the gold standard for insect control, they neg...

Animal African trypanosomiasis (AAT) is a significant socioeconomic burden for sub-Saharan Africa because of its huge impact on livestock health. Existing therapies including those based on minor groove binders (MGBs), such as the diamidines, which have been used for decades, have now lost efficacy ...

Peripheral blood was collected from patients, seropositive and uninfected controls for analysis of the expression expression patterns of the annotated human miRNA in different sample groups. A total of 40 samples were collected, including 20 patients (9 stage I and 11 stage II), 12 seropositive subj...

In this experiment, mice from 3 strains A/J, Balb C and C57Bl6 were infected with Trypanosoma Congolense, IL1180 clone, African sleeping sickness, a disease which affects cattle in sub-saharan Africa. These mouse strains were chosen because they are a model for tolerance to infection in cattle, wi...

Trypanosoma brucei is the causative agent of human African trypanosomiasis, which is responsible for thousands of deaths every year. Current therapies are limited and there is an urgent need to develop new drugs. The anti-trypanosomal compound, 3-(oxazolo[4,5-b]pyridine-2-yl)anilide (OXPA), was init...

We used all five current human African trypanosomiasis drugs for genome-scale RNA interference (RNAi) target sequencing (RIT-seq) screens in Trypanosoma brucei, revealing the transporters, organelles, enzymes and metabolic pathways that function to facilitate anti-trypanosomal drug action. RIT-seq p...
